Hard Fire Suppression Systems of Ohio

NOVEC 1230 is a fire suppression agent manufactured by 3M. It is primarily used in a fire suppression setting, where it is installed in a fire suppression system and used in place of water. We've posted this video so you can see NOVEC 1230 in action, as it is tested on a fire in a controlled environment. The fire-smothering ability of the NOVEC 1230 agent can definitely be seen here.

Fire Suppression System is an umbrella term that includes products like fire sprinkler systems, gas fire suppressants, and wet & dry chemical agents.   A type of fire suppression system that is becoming increasingly popular today is the gas fire suppressant, also called a Clean Agent Fire Suppressant. Instead of using water, like a traditional fire sprinkler system, a clean agent fire suppressant uses gas to break down a fire at the molecular level. The gas reduces the fire's fuel, reduces its heat, reduces or isolates its oxygen and stops the chain reaction that occurs as a result of the above three steps. This method also leaves behind no residue, creates far less damage and doesn't require the expensive cleanup that a water sprinkler system does.
